Did An NFL Network Commentator Interrupt A Game By Being On The Field?

When the NFL Network returned from commercial during last night's matchup between the Chargers and Chiefs, commentator Rich Eisen was on the field to preview the network's halftime show (see video below). And he was not just on the sideline. He was actually on the field of play.

In the background, you can see the players lined up and ready to run a play. And as Eisen walks towards the camera, he mentions that "this field judge wants me off the field," as he gestures to the nearby official.

But in the video below, you can see the official lean towards Eisen and you can hear somebody yell what sounds like "get off!" And while it was a timeout, it was clear that both teams and the officials were just waiting for the network to return to the game.

It's bad enough that fans have to deal with television delays. But it seems like a bit much that we are now being subjected to delays because the NFL Network wants to be on the field to promote their halftime show...
